What Should I Do if a Dog Bites Me?

After suffering a dog bite, it’s crucial to take the right steps for your physical safety and eventual financial and physical recovery. First, get to a safe place or seek help until the attacking dog is secured. Apply emergency first aid as needed. Then, do the following:

  • Use your cell phone to call 911 to report the attack and request animal control services
  • Use the phone camera to take photos of the dog and anything relevant to the attack, such as a broken fence, a dragging leash, or a chain
  • If the dog’s owner is present, add their contact information to your phone
  • Photograph your visible injuries
  • Go directly to a hospital or urgent care center

Dogs have sharp jagged teeth that function similarly to serrated blades used to cut and tear meat. Unfortunately, dog bites often leave deep punctures and jagged wounds that are prone to infection and scarring.

 

Common Dog Bite Injuries

 

Doctors classify dog bite injuries in levels, based on the depth of puncture wounds and the extent of the damage.

Level-1 bites are simple abrasions, while levels 2-4 are increasingly serious punctures, wounds, and torn flesh. Level-5 and 6 bites are the most serious, involving the loss of fingers or toes, traumatic amputations, consumed flesh, and death.

Common dog bite injuries in Henderson include the following:

  • Scrapes and punctures
  • Deep lacerations
  • Bruises
  • Soft-tissue injuries
  • Degloving (flesh peeled away from hands or feet)
  • Facial injuries
  • Bites to the throat
  • Scalp injuries
  • Traumatic amputations

An attacking dog can cause other injuries if they knock their victim down during the attack, such as head injuries and fractures. Most dog bite injuries require treatment for infection and often reconstructive surgery to repair scars and restore function. Depending on the circumstances and the result of testing on the dog, a dog bite victim may require preventative rabies treatment.

Emotional injuries such as PTSD, anxiety, sleep disturbances, and depression are also common after-effects of dog bites, especially after brutal attacks with serious injuries. The most serious dog bites can end in wrongful death.
